Nursing Home Abuse

Most people cannot imagine the thought of attempting to hurt someone in a nursing home. This does not mean everyone understands what most of us believe that residents in nursing homes are there to receive treatment they need in a peaceful safe environment.

Nursing home abuse is real. According to the American Association of Justice, 1.4 million people live in U.S. nursing homes. And only 1 in 14 incidents of abuse is reported.

The following are the common signs of nursing home abuse:

Bruises or bleeding

Emotional withdrawal

Bedsores

Silence around caretakers

Bruises on or around an elder’s genitals

Unexplained illness or infection

Change in elder’s will

Change in power of attorney
